Although Bai Ling wasn't a provincial capital, it was connected to the high-speed railway. Hence, Zhao Yu's first stop was to investigate Cui Lizhu's background.
However, when he and Cui Lizhu arrived, it was already two o 'clock in the morning. Hence, they naturally had to find a hotel to rest.
Hence, they found a star-rated hotel nearby and prepared to stay.
At the hotel's front desk, Cui Lizhu insisted that Zhao Yu only get one room, so that the two of them could stay in one room.
Cui Lizhu said that, firstly, it was to save money, and secondly, she didn't have an ID, so she couldn't get a room.
Sigh!
All of a sudden, Zhao Yu felt like he had met her before. He remembered that when he and Miao Ying had gone to Lingyun to investigate the case, he had tried every means possible to stay in the same room with his goddess! Unfortunately, he hadn't succeeded in the end.
Who knew that there would be a beautiful girl who would come to his door on her own accord?
However, facing Cui Lizhu, Zhao Yu didn't have any sexual urges. Hence, he insisted on getting two rooms for each of them.
Zhao Yu was the team leader of the Central Special Investigation Group. If he couldn't even get a room, it would be embarrassing. Plus, he couldn't use his ID to get a room. Otherwise, once he got a room, Wu Fangfang and the others would know where he was.
If Wu Fangfang knew that he was in Nanjiang, who knew what kind of trouble she would cause?
However, even though they each got a room, Zhao Yu still underestimated Cui Lizhu's persistence. When he took a shower and got into bed, he found that Cui Lizhu was already lying on his bed!
"What's going on?" Seeing a girl lying on his bed, Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat. However, his rationality prevailed, so he didn't pounce on her.
"Team Leader, if I told you that I wanted to tell you a ghost story to scare you, but in the end, I scared myself and didn't dare to sleep alone, would you believe me?" Cui Lizhu said as she lay on the bed and buried her head under the pillow.
Mm …
Needless to say, this reason sounded quite refreshing.
"Sigh!" The next second, Zhao Yu sighed helplessly. He put his hand on Cui Lizhu's smooth calf and sighed. "Little Zhuzhu, it's not that I'm not romantic, but you don't understand the situation at all! Actually, what you need now is just a form of comfort! Not that kind of 'comfort', you know?
"In the past, I have also encountered this kind of helplessness. However, the knot in your heart needs to be solved by yourself. In the end, the only person who can help you is yourself!
"Besides, I'm a man of principle. As the saying goes, a rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its burrow. A man who takes advantage of others is not a man … So … So …" Zhao Yu stared at Cui Lizhu's thighs and said seriously, "So, take off your clothes now, and I'll go downstairs to buy candles and a whip …"
After saying this, there was dead silence.
After a full minute, Cui Lizhu hugged her pillow and stood up. She lowered her head and cursed angrily, "Team Leader, you're a psychopath, hmph …"
After humming, she threw the pillow at Zhao Yu's head and turned to leave.
"Wait!" Zhao Yu waved his hand and said, "You can go, but leave the things behind! Maybe Zeng Ke will report to me later! "
"Okay, okay, here you go …" As she spoke, Cui Lizhu opened her pajamas and threw her mobile phone, watch, and wallet to Zhao Yu.
"A thief doesn't leave empty-handed, right? I'm warning you, just this once, understand? If there's a second time, be careful … "Before Zhao Yu could finish, Cui Lizhu had already closed the door from the outside.
"Little girl, do you want me to die of exhaustion?" Zhao Yu ran to the door and locked it. His forehead was covered with a layer of sweat.
In fact, Zhao Yu knew that Cui Lizhu had taken the initiative to throw herself at him because she liked him. If he really wanted her to stay, he would definitely not waste the night.
However, Zhao Yu's feelings for Cui Lizhu were just sympathy! This girl seemed to be strong, but because of her strange life and unfortunate experiences, she was on the verge of being fragile and in urgent need of someone to take care of and comfort her. Zhao Yu knew that this kind of comfort could not be built on a bed!
If he really wanted to help her, he had to dig out the truth of the whole thing and let her know what was going on!
After dawn the next day, Zhao Yu and Cui Lizhu had breakfast at the hotel, then began their investigation.
Last night, Zeng Ke stayed up all night to investigate Cui Lizhu's family. However, he found that Cui Lizhu's immediate family members were basically all dead!
This was not entirely because of their family's misfortune, but because the Cui family had only had one child for three generations, and Cui Lizhu's mother was also an only child.
After investigating for a long time, Zeng Ke only found a few distant relatives of Cui Lizhu. These people had not been in contact with each other for a long time, so there was no value in finding them.
Therefore, Zhao Yu focused his attention on those who had interacted with the Cui family. Among the few targets, there was a person named Ma Wenliang who quickly became his target.
This person was one of Cui Fangyu's subordinates. After Cui Fangyu was arrested and imprisoned, he was sentenced to five years in prison.
So, this person, who had a close relationship with Cui Fangyu, must know something. As long as he could find him, he might be able to figure out what had happened that year.
So, Zhao Yu and Cui Lizhu began to look for this person. According to the address that Zeng Ke had found, they found a simple house. However, this house had already been mortgaged by Ma Wenliang to someone else.
The owner of the house said that Ma Wenliang was a guy who didn't do proper work. He especially liked to go to brothels and gamble. Five years ago, he had already mortgaged his house. Now, he was nowhere to be seen. No one even knew if he was dead or alive!
Zhao Yu asked the owner of the house about the Cui family, but the owner didn't know anything about it. In desperation, Zhao Yu had to leave his phone number and said that once he found out Ma Wenliang's whereabouts, he would reward him handsomely.
Although the beginning was not smooth, it did not affect Zhao Yu's confidence. Next, he took Cui Lizhu to visit the Cui family's old house and the place where Cui Fangyu had once lived. Unfortunately, whether it was the old house or the place where he lived, all of these places had been demolished! The two of them asked around for a long time, but they couldn't find anyone who knew anything about this.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was lunchtime. Zhao Yu and Cui Lizhu found a fast food restaurant and had a simple lunch.
Cui Lizhu obviously lost her appetite when she suddenly heard about her past. While she was eating, she looked anxious.
"Team Leader, it's already been seven days, but …" Cui Lizhu said worriedly, "We haven't found anything yet! Plus, what we are investigating now has nothing to do with the Gem Case! Even if we find out about my past, what can we do? "
"The emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is!" Zhao Yu joked with Cui Lizhu as he ate. "Don't say that you are an outsider. You are just a criminal that we, the special investigation group, caught! When the time limit is up, we can just disband on the spot and be sent back to our original place! Don't worry about it! "
"You are so irresponsible!" Cui Lizhu gritted her teeth. "If you solve the case, I can get a reduced sentence! If you're done for, I'll have to spend my youth in prison! Moreover, what they were investigating was my past! How can I not be anxious? How about this? " Cui Lizhu's eyes lit up. "I'll contact the local gangster, then we can issue a reward, okay?"
"You'll pay?" Zhao Yu rolled his eyes at her.
"Money is easy to figure out. Give me some time, and I'll settle it soon! " Cui Lizhu patted her chest. "Team Leader, I have a feeling that my biological father might have been a gangster in the past! Look, Ma Wenliang, who we found, is a gambler and a womanizer. How could he have been a manager in a big company? "
"D * mn, do you even need a feeling?" Zhao Yu said bluntly. "Your father and Ma Wenliang were both arrested for smuggling. Do you still think that they were framed? You must not have read the information properly, right? Smuggling cars and cigarettes is one thing, but even cultural relics are involved! If they didn't have any background, they wouldn't be able to do this! "
"If that's the case, then we should follow the rules of the underworld!" Cui Lizhu said affirmatively. "If we find the gangster who used to be in contact with my father, we will get the information!"
"Get your head!" Zhao Yu creased his eyebrows. "I'm warning you, we are the police. Mm … I am a police officer! If you dare to do your old job again, don't blame me for being rude! "
"Then … What should we do?" Cui Lizhu asked anxiously. "We can't just wait here, right?"
"Not necessarily …" Zhao Yu raised his head and drank a cup of tea. He then said calmly, "Maybe, I have a way that will work!"
"Oh? What way? "Cui Lizhu asked anxiously.
